| 8 | | Sec. 9.9. Nitrogen oxides trading system.
| 9 | | (a) The General Assembly finds:
| 10 | | (1) That USEPA has issued a Final Rule published in | 11 | | the Federal
Register on October 27, 1998, entitled | 12 | | "Finding of Significant Contribution and
Rulemaking for | 13 | | Certain States in the Ozone Transport Assessment Group | 14 | | Region
for Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of | 15 | | Ozone", hereinafter referred to
as the "NOx SIP Call", | 16 | | compliance with which will require reducing emissions of
| 17 | | nitrogen oxides ("NOx");
| 18 | | (2) That reducing emissions of NOx in the State helps | 19 | | the State to meet
the national ambient air quality | 20 | | standard for ozone;
| 21 | | (3) That emissions trading is a cost-effective means | 22 | | of obtaining
reductions of NOx emissions.
| 23 | | (b) The Agency shall propose and the Board shall adopt
| 24 | | regulations to implement an interstate NOx trading program | 25 | | (hereinafter
referred to as the "NOx Trading Program") as |
| | | HB5190 Engrossed | - 57 - | LRB102 24780 RJF 34023 b |
|
| 1 | | provided for in 40 CFR
Part 96, including
incorporation by | 2 | | reference of appropriate provisions of 40 CFR Part 96 and
| 3 | | regulations to address 40 CFR Section 96.4(b), Section | 4 | | 96.55(c), Subpart E, and
Subpart I. In addition, the Agency | 5 | | shall propose and the Board shall adopt
regulations to | 6 | | implement NOx emission reduction programs for cement kilns and
| 7 | | stationary
internal combustion engines.
| 8 | | (c) Allocations of NOx allowances to large electric | 9 | | generating units
("EGUs") and large non-electric generating | 10 | | units ("non-EGUs"), as defined by 40
CFR Part 96.4(a), shall | 11 | | not exceed the State's trading budget for those source
| 12 | | categories to be included in
the State Implementation Plan for | 13 | | NOx.
| 14 | | (d) In adopting regulations to implement the NOx Trading | 15 | | Program, the Board
shall:
| 16 | | (1) assure that the economic impact and technical | 17 | | feasibility of NOx
emissions reductions under the NOx | 18 | | Trading Program are considered relative to
the traditional | 19 | | regulatory control requirements in the State for EGUs and
| 20 | | non-EGUs;
| 21 | | (2) provide that emission units, as defined in Section | 22 | | 39.5(1) of this
Act, may opt into the NOx Trading Program;
| 23 | | (3) provide for voluntary reductions of NOx emissions | 24 | | from emission units,
as defined in Section 39.5(1) of this | 25 | | Act, not otherwise included under
paragraph (c) or (d)(2) | 26 | | of this Section to provide additional allowances to
EGUs |
| | | HB5190 Engrossed | - 58 - | LRB102 24780 RJF 34023 b |
|
| 1 | | and non-EGUs to be allocated by the Agency. The | 2 | | regulations shall further
provide that such voluntary | 3 | | reductions are verifiable, quantifiable, permanent,
and | 4 | | federally enforceable;
| 5 | | (4) provide that the Agency allocate to non-EGUs | 6 | | allowances that are
designated in the rule, unless the | 7 | | Agency has been directed to transfer the
allocations to | 8 | | another unit subject to the requirements of the NOx | 9 | | Trading
Program, and that upon shutdown of a non-EGU, the | 10 | | unit may transfer or sell the
NOx allowances that are | 11 | | allocated to such unit;
| 12 | | (5) provide that the Agency shall set aside annually a | 13 | | number of
allowances, not to exceed 5% of the total EGU | 14 | | trading budget, to be made
available to new EGUs; and
| 15 | | (6)
provide that those EGUs that commence commercial
| 16 | | operation, as defined
in 40
CFR Section 96.2, at a time | 17 | | that is more than half way through the control
period in | 18 | | 2003 shall return to the Agency any allowances that were | 19 | | issued to
it by the Agency and were not used for compliance | 20 | | in 2004.
| 21 | | (d-5) The Agency may sell NOx allowances to sources in | 22 | | Illinois that are
subject
to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 217, either | 23 | | Subpart U or W, as follows:
| 24 | | (1) any unearned Early Reduction Credits set aside for | 25 | | non-EGUs under 35
Ill. Adm. Code 217, Subpart U, but only | 26 | | to those sources that make qualifying
early reductions of |
| | | HB5190 Engrossed | - 59 - | LRB102 24780 RJF 34023 b |
|
| 1 | | NOx in 2003 pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 217 for which
the | 2 | | source did not receive an allocation thereunder. If the | 3 | | Agency receives
requests to purchase more ERCs than are | 4 | | available for sale, allowances shall
be offered for sale | 5 | | to qualifying sources on a pro-rata basis;
| 6 | | (2) any remaining Early Reduction Credits allocated | 7 | | under 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 217, Subpart U or W, that could not | 8 | | be allocated on a pro-rata, whole
allowance basis, but | 9 | | only to those sources that made qualifying early
| 10 | | reductions of NOx in 2003 pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 217 | 11 | | for which the
source did not receive an allocation;
| 12 | | (3) any allowances under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 217, | 13 | | Subpart W, that remain
after each 3-year allocation period | 14 | | that could not be allocated on a
pro-rata, whole allowance | 15 | | basis pursuant to the provisions of Subpart W; and
| 16 | | (4) any allowances requested from the New Source Set | 17 | | Aside for those
sources that commenced operation, as | 18 | | defined in 40 CFR Section 96.2, on or
after
January 1, | 19 | | 2004.
| 20 | | (d-10) The selling price for ERC allowances shall be 70% | 21 | | of the market
price index for 2005 NOx allowances, determined | 22 | | by the Agency as follows:
| 23 | | (1) using the mean of 2 or more published market price | 24 | | indexes for the
2005 NOx allowances as of October 6, 2003; | 25 | | or
| 26 | | (2) if there are not 2 published market price indexes |
| | | HB5190 Engrossed | - 60 - | LRB102 24780 RJF 34023 b |
|
| 1 | | for 2005 NOx
allowances as of October 6, 2003, the Agency | 2 | | may use any reasonable indication
of market price.
| 3 | | (e) The Agency may adopt procedural rules, as necessary, | 4 | | to implement the
regulations promulgated by the Board pursuant | 5 | | to subsections (b) and (d) and
to implement subsections (d-5), | 6 | | (d-10), (i), and (j) of
this Section.
| 7 | | (f) Notwithstanding any provisions in subparts T, U, and W | 8 | | of Section 217
of Title 35 of the Illinois Administrative Code | 9 | | to the contrary, compliance
with the regulations promulgated | 10 | | by the Board pursuant to subsections (b) and
(d) of this | 11 | | Section is required by May 31, 2004.
| 12 | | (g) To the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction | 13 | | finds a provision
of 40 CFR Part 96 invalid, the corresponding | 14 | | Illinois provision shall
be stayed until such provision of 40 | 15 | | CFR Part 96 is found to be valid or is
re-promulgated. To the | 16 | | extent that USEPA or any court of competent
jurisdiction stays | 17 | | the applicability of any provision of the NOx SIP Call to
any | 18 | | person or circumstance relating to Illinois, during the period | 19 | | of that
stay, the effectiveness of the corresponding Illinois | 20 | | provision shall be
stayed. To the extent that the invalidity | 21 | | of the particular requirement or
application does not affect
| 22 | | other provisions or applications of the NOx SIP Call pursuant | 23 | | to 40 CFR 51.121
or the NOx trading program pursuant to 40 CFR | 24 | | Part 96 or 40 CFR Part 97, this
Section, and rules or | 25 | | regulations promulgated hereunder, will be given
effect | 26 | | without the invalid provisions or applications.

| 6 | | (815 ILCS 505/7) (from Ch. 121 1/2, par. 267)
| 7 | | Sec. 7. Injunctive relief; restitution; and civil | 8 | | penalties.
| 9 | | (a) Whenever the Attorney General or a State's Attorney | 10 | | has reason to
believe that any person is using, has used, or is | 11 | | about to use any method,
act or practice declared by this Act | 12 | | to be
unlawful, and that proceedings would be in the public | 13 | | interest, he or she
may bring an action in the name of the | 14 | | People of the State against
such person to restrain by | 15 | | preliminary or permanent injunction the use of
such method, | 16 | | act or practice. The Court, in its discretion, may exercise
| 17 | | all powers necessary, including but not limited to: | 18 | | injunction;
revocation, forfeiture or suspension of any | 19 | | license, charter, franchise,
certificate or other evidence of | 20 | | authority of any person to do business in
this State; | 21 | | appointment of a receiver; dissolution of domestic | 22 | | corporations

|
| | | HB5190 Engrossed | - 81 - | LRB102 24780 RJF 34023 b |
|
| 1 | | (b) In addition to the remedies provided herein, the | 2 | | Attorney General or
State's Attorney may request and the Court | 3 | | may impose a civil penalty in a sum
not to exceed $50,000 | 4 | | against any person found by the Court to have engaged in
any | 5 | | method, act or practice declared unlawful under this Act.
In | 6 | | the event the court finds the method, act or practice to have | 7 | | been entered
into with the intent to defraud, the court has the | 8 | | authority to impose a
civil penalty in a sum not to exceed | 9 | | $50,000 per violation.
| 10 | | (c) In addition to any other civil penalty provided in | 11 | | this Section, if a
person is found by the court to have engaged | 12 | | in any method, act, or practice
declared unlawful under this | 13 | | Act, and the violation was committed against a
person 65 years | 14 | | of age or older, the court may impose an additional civil
| 15 | | penalty not to exceed $10,000 for each violation.
| 16 | | A civil penalty imposed under this subsection (c) shall be | 17 | | paid to the
State Treasurer
who shall deposit the money in the | 18 | | State treasury in a special fund designated
the Department on | 19 | | Aging State Projects Elderly Victim Fund. The Treasurer shall | 20 | | deposit such moneys into the
Fund monthly. All of the moneys | 21 | | deposited into the Fund shall be appropriated
to the | 22 | | Department on Aging for grants to senior centers in Illinois.
| 23 | | An award of restitution under subsection (a) has priority | 24 | | over a civil
penalty
imposed by the court under this | 25 | | subsection.
| 26 | | In determining whether to impose a civil penalty under |
| | | HB5190 Engrossed | - 82 - | LRB102 24780 RJF 34023 b |
|
| 1 | | this subsection
and the amount of any penalty, the court shall | 2 | | consider the following:
| 3 | | (1) Whether the defendant's conduct was in willful | 4 | | disregard of the rights
of the person 65 years of age or | 5 | | older.
| 6 | | (2) Whether the defendant knew or should have known | 7 | | that the defendant's
conduct was directed to a person 65 | 8 | | years of age or older.
| 9 | | (3) Whether the person 65 years of age or older was | 10 | | substantially more
vulnerable to the defendant's conduct | 11 | | because of age, poor health, infirmity,
impaired | 12 | | understanding, restricted mobility, or disability, than | 13 | | other persons.
| 14 | | (4) Any other factors the court deems appropriate.
| 15 | | (d) This Section applies if: (i) a court orders a party to | 16 | | make payments
to the Attorney General and the payments are to | 17 | | be used for the operations of
the Office of the Attorney | 18 | | General or (ii) a party agrees, in an Assurance of
Voluntary | 19 | | Compliance under this Act, to make payments to the Attorney | 20 | | General
for the operations of the Office of the Attorney | 21 | | General.
| 22 | | (e) Moneys paid under any of the conditions described in | 23 | | subsection (d)
shall be deposited into the Attorney General | 24 | | Court Ordered and Voluntary
Compliance Payment Projects Fund, | 25 | | which is created as a special fund in the
State Treasury. | 26 | | Moneys in the Fund shall be used, subject to appropriation,
|
| | | HB5190 Engrossed | - 83 - | LRB102 24780 RJF 34023 b |
|
| 1 | | for the performance of any function pertaining to the exercise | 2 | | of the duties of
the Attorney General including but not | 3 | | limited to enforcement of any law of
this State and conducting | 4 | | public education programs; however, any moneys in the
Fund | 5 | | that are required by the court or by an agreement to be used | 6 | | for a
particular purpose shall be used for that purpose.
